Manuscripts
Charles A. Leake wrote this letter to James W. Denver from "Sacramento City" and the letter is devoted almost entirely to California state politics. He writes at length upon the recently-concluded Democratic state party convention, the maneuverings therein of various factions, and the circumstances of leading California political figures such as former governor John Bigler and current U.S. senator David Broderick, as well as the influence of events in California upon national political events.
